With my Marion Co. tag filled and new bucks finally showing up on camera here in Gregg Co. it’s time to try and fill this tag.
I had a real solid 9 that disappeared 4 days before the season started and since then a wide 11 point that got killed the next day across the road. This past week about 8 new bucks have shown on my cell cams. A short tine 8, a 4-1/2 year old 8 whose beams nearly touch I’ve watched since he was a yearling, a cull 5 point that grew part of an antler with knots on it, a few young bucks and pretty 9 I would sling an arrow at.
Yesterday I passed the 3.5 year old one horn cull 5 pt and then during the evening hunt the 9 came in but was spooked by a big bobcat. No shot on either. My daughter was with me and I was trying to get her set up as we had just got in and weren’t even settled.
Later he came back by in the brush and I could have shot him with her .243 but I wanted her to and it was just too hard of a shot so he got a pass.
This mornings hunt was slow except for few young bucks and a doe.
We are both back in for the evening. One of us is gonna get that 9 if he slips again. Or any other buck. I usually see 15-20 bucks here during the rut. Gotta love city deer!
I’m about a mile out of town surrounded in neighborhoods and some dang good deer.
